I recently began playing this book, i 've played three or four times but i ever keep loosing against the Kleasá, the last time i was able to resist the four rounds, but i finished with just 5 EP and the subsequent attack killed me. Could someone who had already played and completed this book give me an advice? For more info: www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml/gs/01gstw/sect149.htm

It's a known broken fight (think original-stats Zakhan Kimah or Chaos Master). Like the 'solution' to the Zakhan was to forget the Swerd at home and throw the Dagger of Vashna, the 'solution' to the Kleása is to spam Tarama seeds and award yourself an infinite damage multiplier.

Yes, but to spam de Tarama seeds wouldn't be cheating?

You can win the fight, but to give yourself a reasonable chance you need to follow the absolute optimal path up to this point. Don't get into any combats, don't use spells unnecessarily. Sell your boat at the harbor, use the money to buy Laumspur, Alether, Ezeran Crystals and Tarama Seeds in the marketplace. Give some Laumspur to the dying Shianti Priest for a big willpower boost. Use Alchemy to escape from the dungeon (to save on willpower) and use the seeds whenever you need to use your staff or a spell to keep your willpower as high as possible. Visit Jnana the Wise for additional items and a full heal.
When you get to the Kleasa fight, use your Alether, and pump extra willpower into each attack to multiple the damage you do to your opponent. It's imperative you end the fight as quickly as possible.
Depending upon your interpretation of the rules, it may be acceptable to use Laumspur to save yourself from death if you have fewer than 5 EPs after the Kleasa fight.

The previous two posts are wise words. However, they didn't cover this exactly, but unless you're reading an original print where the section is unreachable: do NOT take the Kazim Stone on your way out of Suhn. Later, at the campfire, when you're awoken, you will be asked if you took it. If you did not, you're given the opportunity to spend 2 WP on a Sorcery shield that reduces the aura damage from Kleasa from 2 EP per round to 1. Do so as it will save you up to 4 EP.
Also, per PA footnotes, they advocate that Tarama Seeds are not usable at all during combat.
You'll probably want to have, at the very least, -8 CR so you can avoid being killed instantly during the fight. That means, don't even bother playing a Grey Star with 14 or lower CS, just reroll until you get a 5 or more.
The Kleasa fight isn't even the end of the arcade-style challenges in this book. Good luck (you will need it).

And changing the topic, do you think that Zorkaan could be actually a Kleasá? I mean, they look a bit similar imo, and also their titles have a certain likeness (Zorkaan is "The Soul Taker" and Kleasá "The Soul Eater")

Zorkaan is the most powerful Kleasa in existence. Or was until Lone Wolf thought-thrust the Sommerswerd into him.
